October 5, 2021

This is post for my VMworld 2021 vBrownbag session VMTN2835. This session covers updates to the VDI by day compute by night scripts that I’ve been writing and updating for a couple of years. You can download all of the modules needed for this from my GitHub repo.

New PowerCLI Module – Finding vGPU Profiles

By Tony in GPU, Horizon, PowerCLI
October 4, 2021

A deep dive on a PowerCLI module for finding vGPU profiles, used as part of VDI by day Compute by Night scripts. This PowerShell script finds what vGPU profiles are supported by a given set of hosts and reports it back as an object collection.

Scripting VDI By Day and Compute By Night

By Tony in Deep Learning, GPU, Horizon, HPC, Large Scale Compute, Machine Learning, NGCA, PowerCLI, Programming, vExpert
March 13, 2019

Over the weekend I finished writing a PowerCLI script to do VDI by day and compute by night. In in this post I’m going to share the script and how to set it up with you.

For those not familiar with the term VDI by day and compute by night here is my vision for it. Let’s say you have a bunch of VDI users who are structural engineers. They typically work from 8 in the morning to 5 or so at night. On their VDI desktops they have programs like like AutoCAD which require high end GPUs, but since they are using VDI they’re virtual GPUs or vGPUs. That means you have these high end GPUs that might be sitting idle for 12 to 16 hours a day and the organization spent a lot of money for those GPUs.

Now what if you could use those GPUs for something other than just engineers virtual desktops? You know, get a little more millage out of them. The R&D department keeps wanting more servers for their high performance computing (HPC) farm… What could 12 extra hours a day of GPU time coming from the Engineers idle VDI hosts do to help them?

Number of vGPUs Available in vSphere

By Tony in AI, Deep Learning, GPU, Horizon, Machine Learning, PowerCLI, Programming, VMware
February 19, 2019

I’ve been working on a PowerCLI function for the last few months in my free time and now I’d like to share it with everyone. This is a pretty spiffy function for those folks working with vGPUs, and it’s not just for VDI it can help those looking to virtualize ML/DL systems too. It calculates the vGPU carrying capacity of a vSphere environment.

I’m very excited to share with everyone that I have successfully installed the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit on a Linux CentOS 7 Virtual Desktop running on Horizon 7.1 in my home lab. (No, I’m not the first but its a big deal for me.) You might be thinking “big deal you’ve deployed an app on a …
